Don't expect people to download a zip file from the net. Post your scores along with system specs and maybe you will get an answer.

WOW you're paranoid bro.
If you could upload a decent attachment on this forum like any other it'd be fine.
I mean, if the issue is hacks then maybe go with a more secure forum script *cough vbulletin*

What's the problem anyway?
Don't have a virus scanner for a small 2 MB zip file with 4 images in it?

GEEZ.

WHY THE F!@k do these flamer pricks with no lives always think they can speak for a whole community anyways?
Can we get a real reply to this post in here?

First of all, my post wasn't a flame, but some advice for getting more reactions.Maybe I could have put it a little friendlier in writing but hey...we all make mistakes (if you can call it that)
Secondly , no I do not have a virusscanner nor do I need one because I don't download crap from the internet. Especially from people I do not know or trust, and right now do not like (as I am a prick...I'm sure you understand)
Furthermore, most people here seem to be quite able to get images up or atleast links to said images so why can't you?
I don't think I speak for the entire community but thought that more people could be like me and were not willing to download anything to their computers just to see what you are babling about, thus giving the advice of putting it up here. But goodluck to you.

Maybe instead of blowing things out of proportion and screaming at the guy who was trying to help you, you could upload the 4 images to http://imageshack.us/ or one of the other half dozen free image host's there are.

I am a firm believer in second chances for people so here goes

First of all, what did you compare it to? I tried the program and got 1049 score with:

P5n32-e sli plus
E6700 @ 3.333
G.skill PC6400 @ 333 4-4-4-12-1T
Asus 8800 GTX stock timings
Raptor 150 Gb
Raptor 75 Gb
Enermax Galaxy 1000 W

When I downloaded some baselines with similar CPU speeds most were in this range, 9** ~ 11**. However there were some results that made no sense to me like a score of 41** with a 2000 % increase in diskspeed or 545% increased 2d rendering on a lesser graphics card then mine!
It seems this program is not a very reliable one for comparing one system to another unless you know which results are reasonable. Seeing as you have slower RAM, videocard and CPU aswell as some IDE drives that may be pulling your scores down, I don't see 705 as an unrealistic score.

GL.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

So I got higher scores than I should have?
I only have one IDE drive.

I set my timings to default and got a 698
